Providence Group Realty is providing free trees to customers through Energy-Saving Trees, an Arbor Day Foundation program that helps conserve energy and reduce energy bills through strategic tree planting.

Starting today, Providence Group Realty customers can reserve their free trees at www.arborday.org/pgr. An online tool helps customers estimate the annual energy savings that will result from planting trees in the most strategic location near their homes. Customers can reserve up to one tree per address and are expected to care for and plant them in the location provided by the online tool. The types of trees offered include the following: Burr Oak, Cedar Elm, Mexican White Oak, Pecan Tree, Texas Redbud.

The program will continue until all provisioned trees are reserved. The two-to-four foot tall trees will be delivered directly to customers at an ideal time for planting this fall season (mid-October through December).

The “Energy-Saving Trees” online tool was created by the Arbor Day Foundation and the Davey Institute, a division of Davey Tree Expert Co., and uses peer-reviewed scientific research from the USDA Forest Service’s i-Tree software to calculate estimated benefits. In addition to providing approximate energy savings, the tool also estimates the trees’ other benefits, including cleaner air, reduced carbon dioxide emissions and improved storm water management.
